No typo. C&W needed only two weeks on the *first* 'global' network. But that was 4 WPM and a hundred and eleven years ago (completed 1898). As said - we'd rather *know* a mail failed same-day while there is time to phone or fax. For intra & inter-office, between HQ & branches, we have run as short as 13 minutes - just enough time to move a full ~ 800 MB CDROM as an attachment. > Regardless, that retry should have attempted to send at least one email to > yahoo servers once every 2 minutes for 10 minute provided that you actually > run a queue runner. ..and therein lies a tale. I use -q55s and so suggested. Catalin has not *yet* given us any sight of his setting, but I'll not be surprised it is longer than 5 minutes. Perhaps *much* longer. > In the event that yahoo are aggressively greylisting > you, I would talk to them rather than attempt to get around the technical > problem as it sounds like you've been targeted for special treatment. > > > And/or randomize the deliveries so as not to drop a thousand-plus on them in a few minutes time from a single source.
